Vanna White hires an “aggressive new lawyer” after working on “Wheel of Fortune” for nearly 20 years without a pay raise.
Vanna White has been a Wheel of Fortune co-host since 1982, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that her remuneration is commensurate with her four decades of work.
According to a recent story, White hasn’t received a pay increase in almost 20 years. As a result of host Pat Sajak’s departure, the longstanding co-host has engaged an “aggressive new lawyer” to help her collect the pay she is due.
White, 66, reportedly earns $3 million a year, while Sajak earns almost five times that amount, according to Puck.
One could argue that Sajak makes more money because he is the host. However, other sources stated that White spends more time on set and promotes the show than Sajak.

White had previously stated that she couldn’t envision Wheel of Fortune without either before Sajak’s statement.
“Everyone associates Pat and Vanna with Wheel of Fortune. We’re kind of like Ken and Barbie,” she told People. Having someone else turn my letters would be strange since we have been in everyone’s homes for 40 years.
She also found it impossible to perform the performance without Sajak.
We work together, she declared. “That makes me sad. I don’t want to consider it at all.
But it now appears that the dynamic team won’t return to Wheel of Fortune.
Vanna White deserves a significant raise after all these years. She contributes so much to the show, thus, it is absurd that she hasn’t received a pay raise in almost 20 years.
